Is a qualitative term that refers to the general condition of a forest.

Forest Healthi

a scientific branch of forestry concerned with the study and control of biotic and abiotic stress agents that affect the health and/or integrity of trees, forest communities, and wood products.

Forest Protection

Biotic stress agents have been the focus of two major branches of forest protection:

forest entomology and forest pathology.

- study of forest insects, particularly those insects which feed on or do damage to trees or lumber.

Forest Entomology

people who specialize in insects. Most entomologists work in the field of economic entomology, also called applied entomology.

Entomologists

the study of insect pests that damage crops, ornamental plants, stored products, and buildings, or that endanger the health of human beings and animals.

Economic entomology or applied entomology -

study insect pests of food and fiber.

Agricultural entomologists -

seek to decrease the threat of insects that cause injury or disease to people and animals.

Medical entomologists and veterinary entomologists

is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, segmented body, and joint appendages.

Arthropod

This is the largest and most successful of the animal phyla, with over 1 000 000 species identified to date and an estimated 1 000 000 000 000 000 000

Arthropods

classification of insect as an animal is based on their structural characters. Those that have certain common structure are classified into one group and those with other structures into other groups. Their classification of groups are divided in the animal kingdom.
